Ta da! Today is the last day of 2015. As I'm thinking back to all the wonderful things that happened this year, I realize how wonderful of a year it has been. Unfortunately, there were some hard times for my family but we're trying to find the good side of things and move on.

Thank you to all of you who keep following this blog. The numbers keep growing and growing and you all keep subscribing to my newsletter, to the Bloglovin' account and you keep writing (adorable) comments on my blog posts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Each day when I check my inbox, I find such sweet emails from you all and some companies. It makes me so happy to have this wonderful internet community in my life.

(Sorry for the scattered posts. My grandparents are here so I'm trying to spend the holidays with my family. I'll be posting normally soon!)

Yes, I was delightfully happy today. I spent the afternoon with my best friend walking in Boston. The weather was nice: blue sky and light wind. We walked from the train station to the end of Newburry Street and back. We had a total of 18,000 steps accumulated by window shopping while giggling. We both are staying home for the holidays for the first time. To celebrate, we went to see the huge Christmas tree at Faneuil Hall (which we hadn't seen since we were little), sipped hot chocolate and talked a lot. In addition, I was wearing my vintage Max Mara coat (*happy dance*) that one of my mom's friends had given to me before her move. What a wonderful day.

Speaking of rediscovering items, I read somewhere that women only wear about 20% of their entire closest! It isn't worth buying as much clothes if you're just going to wear the same things. Therefore, I promised myself not to buy any new item of clothing until the Spring. I've been repeating outfits and reinventing looks by pairing items I wouldn't have necessarily worn together before.

Who wants to join me on this challenge and not buy any new clothes until the Spring?

Take the time to do nothing, or next to nothing. Spend a Sunday morning in your pyjamas. Make yourself a hearty breakfast and drink a cup of espresso. Sip tea from a big mug, reading a magazine. Listen to a Spotify playlist that puts you in a good mood. Stay in your PJs all day, bundled up in a fuzzy blanket. Whip up some tasty hot chocolate and watch a movie, sprawled on the couch. Sunday mornings can be as lazy as you want. Not doing anything from time to time is so therapeutic and provides happiness.
